The 2024 Air supposedly has the same external dimensions, but I'm guessing there might be differences in the internal magnet placement. Has anyone tried a new smart folio on the pre-2024 iPad Pros?
 
No. The iPad dimensions may be the same, but the rear camera on the iPad Air and iPad Pro are not the same. The Smart Folio for the Air has a smaller camera cutout that wouldn't fit the Pro.
 
Interesting.

This older Apple Smart Folio is compatible with
  • 11 inch iPad Pro 2nd generation (2020 iPad Pro)
  • 11 inch iPad Air 4th generation (2020 iPad Air)

This new/current Smart Folio is compatible with
  • Pad Air 11-inch (M2)
  • iPad Air (5th generation)
  • iPad Air (4th generation)
If both Smart Folios are compatible with the 2020 iPad Air, then I guess you are saying that the 2020 iPad Pro had a larger camera bump than all of these Airs and that the 2020 Smart Folio cutout was a little extra large for that 2020 iPad Air?
